Expression of cytochrome p450 and other biotransformation genes in fetal and adult human nasal mucosa.

Despite recent progress in the identification and characterization of numerous nasal biotransformation enzymes in laboratory animals, the expression of biotransformation genes in human nasal mucosa remains difficult to study. Given the potential role of nasal biotransformation enzymes in the metabolism of airborne chemicals, including fragrance compounds and therapeutic agents, as well as the potential interspecies differences between laboratory animals and humans, it would be highly desirable to identify those biotransformation genes that are expressed in human nasal mucosa. In this study, a global gene expression analysis was performed to compare biotransformation enzymes expressed in human fetal and adult nasal mucosa to those expressed in liver. The identities of a list of biotransformation genes with apparently nasal mucosa-selective expression were subsequently confirmed by RNA-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing of the PCR products. Further quantitative RNA-PCR experiments indicated that, in the fetus, aldehyde dehydrogenase 6 (ALDH6), CYP1B1, CYP2F1, CYP4B1, and UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2A1 are expressed preferentially in the nasal mucosa and that ALDH7, flavin-containing monooxygenase 1, and glutathione S-transferase P1 are at least as abundant in the nasal mucosa as in the liver. The nasal mucosal expression of CYP2E1 was also detected. These findings provide a basis for further explorations of the metabolic capacity of the human nasal mucosa for xenobiotic compounds.     

穿心莲内酯微囊的制备及溶出度考察

目的:研究以丙烯酸树脂Ⅳ号为囊材的穿心莲内酯微囊的制备方法及其体外溶出特点.方法:采用液中干燥法制备穿心莲内酯微囊,并按<中国药典>方法测定体外溶出度.结果:该法制备的穿心莲内酯微囊,在水中药物几乎没有溶出,而在酸性溶出介质中则可快速释放.结论:该方法所制备微囊不仅可以有效掩盖穿心莲内酯的苦味,而且在胃液中能够快速释放.

The altering in sensory sensitivity: a current issue of female breast surgery

Breast surgery is an important treatment for women with malignant breast diseases. In addition to breast appearance, the integrity of breast function is increasing in patients with breast diseases. As the basis of breast physiological function, breast skin sensitivity is important to the quality of life of patients after surgery. Breast skin sensitivity gives the patient a “real” breast feeling. The sensory recovery after breast surgery has also become one of the important goals of breast surgery. In this review, we aim to discuss the research progress on recovery of breast skin sensitivity after different treatment modalities for breast disease.     

Catechins as a Potential Dietary Supplementation in Prevention of Comorbidities Linked with Down Syndrome

Plant-derived polyphenols flavonoids are increasingly being recognized for their medicinal potential. These bioactive compounds derived from plants are gaining more interest in ameliorating adverse health risks because of their low toxicity and few side effects. Among them, therapeutic approaches demonstrated the efficacy of catechins, a major group of flavonoids, in reverting several aspects of Down syndrome, the most common genomic disorder that causes intellectual disability. Down syndrome is characterized by increased incidence of developing Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, and subsequent metabolic disorders. In this focused review, we examine the main effects of catechins on comorbidities linked with Down syndrome. We also provide evidence of catechin effects on DYRK1A, a dosage-sensitive gene encoding a protein kinase involved in brain defects and metabolic disease associated with Down syndrome.     

Deer antler based active ingredients have protective effects on LPS/d-GalN-induced acute liver injury in mice through MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways

ContextDeer antler based active ingredients are known to have certain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its potential hepatoprotective effect remains unclear.ObjectiveThis article reports the hepatoprotective effect of protein components in deer antler bases (R1) on lipopolysaccharide/d-galactosamine (LPS/d-GalN)-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice, and explores its possible mechanism.Materials and methodsThe four separated and purified protein components of deer antler bases were screened and verified by the RAW264.7 cell inflammation model. In the in vivo experiment of LPS/d-GalN-induced ALI in mice, ALT, AST, SOD, CAT, GSH and MDA were detected. The liver histopathology was analysed, the COX-2 and iNOS proteins were analysed by immunohistochemistry, and 4-HNE was analysed by immunofluorescence staining. In addition, the effects on the MAPK pathway and NF-κB/IκB-α pathway in liver proteins were explored.ResultsWith isolated RA protein fraction pre-treated RAW264.7 cells, NO production decreased by 35.3% compared with the model group. The experimental results of ALI in mice induced by LPS/d-GalN show that R1 protein components can protect mice from ALI through anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects and reduce liver pathological damage in mice. The results also indicate that the R1 protein component may protect the liver by inhibiting the activation of the MAPK pathway and the NF-κB/IκB-α pathway induced by LPS/d-GalN.ConclusionsThe separated and purified R1 protein component of deer antler base has a good protective effect on LPS/d-GalN-induced liver injury, and may become a potential material for protecting against liver injury.

葛根素对油酸致大鼠急性肺损伤组织中核因子-κB表达的影响

摘 要 目的:观察核因子 κB（NF-κB）在油酸致大鼠急性肺损伤时肺组织中的表达变化,探讨葛根素对急性肺损伤的保护作用及其可能机制。方法: 24只大鼠随机分为3组：对照组（Control）、油酸组（OA）、葛根素预处理组（Pue）。Control组大鼠尾静脉注射生理盐水0.1 ml·kg^-1;OA组大鼠尾静脉注射油酸0.1 ml·kg^-1;Pue组大鼠在注射油酸前30 min腹腔注射葛根素30 mg·kg^-1。光镜下观察肺组织病理形态学改变,免疫组织化学染色技术观察NF-κB在肺组织中的表达变化。结果 Pue组较OA组肺组织损伤情况明显减轻。OA组肺组织NF-κB的阳性表达（0.39±0.07）与Conrtol组（0.12±0.04）相比显著增加（P<0.05）;应用葛根素后肺组织NF-κB的阳性表达（0.24±0.05）明显减少,但仍高于Conrtol组（P<0.05）。结论 葛根素可能通过抑制NF-κB的表达减轻急性肺损伤时肺组织的炎症反应。
